Cut a rug

"We were kind of in a slump until I was dancing on the show. My poll numbers skyrocketed after that. Everybody saw me bust a move on Ellen, that's all it took." -- Sen. Barack Obama to Ellen Degeneres on her show today (which was taped yesterday?). Here's the original dancing clip from last October. The guy can cut a rug. Gotta give him that.

I find his dancing kind of awkward, and endearing.

He got the dancing skills from his mom, apparently.

It's the rhythm of it...the old step-in-time, going with the groove, can't-be-John-Travolta, gotta hold it in.

He beats David Gregory, but he's no Stephen Colbert.

Yeah, those are the "this is where you live" moves that Will Smith taught Kevin James in Hitch.
